Just when you think you're home free, a huge urge will hit you! [View all]
I've been sober for almost 3 years. For the most part, I don't think about drinking. Weekends are a bit rougher but they've been getting better. Then, yesterday it really hit me. I really wanted to chug a couple beers and drink wine while cooking and with dinner. I ended up resisting and decided to head up to bed early. I read for a bit, then grabbed a bowl of ice cream and watched some funny stuff on my laptop (RiffTrax).
It's weird how it'll sneak up on you when you least suspect. It's good to have a battle plan, that's for sure!
